[shadow=red,left,300]At my area Walmart last night, I found a sign for Batman Begins. At the top of the sign in red was "Join us June 18th for our Batman Begins In Store event!".
Interesting, although I am curious as to what's gonna happen. This should be happening at all Walmart's so be sure to check yours out.[/shadow]

I was just going to announce this as well. I saw the big sign as I walked into my walmart as well last night.
I asked around and no manager had any idea what it was, but its interesting that this may be nationwide!
If anyone works for Wal Mart, maybe they can get us some details?
I'm hoping for some giveaways...maybe buttons or small posters...

[shadow=purple,left,300]I was at my Wal-Mart today, and the girl I asked said she didn't know anything about it. There weren't any signs up promoting this event, either.[/shadow]

my sister works for wal mart and she has no clue. She's worked there awhile and is a manager. BUT she didn't know about the star wars event they had until a week or two before. She'll tell me when there's more to know and when she does, you'll know.

My sister says when she goes in tomorrow she'll ask a friend of hers who sets up the movie promotions what's in store for us batfans. If anyone knows yet at my area wal mart, he will.
UPDATE The wheels are moving now. She just got back and said that she asked the guy i have mentioned previously. He just heard about it and is now looking into it. Soon guys...i can feel it!

[glow=red,2,300]HERE'S THE BIG NEWS GUYS!!!
(prepare to be bummed out)
Sorry to say but my sister's contact came through and placed a few calls. The guy found out that officially Wal Mart chain has planned an in store event BUT they have nothing planned. Nothing at ALL! They know when and where they'll have it but just don't know what they'll have take place. I guess wal mart does that, they set out the dates but don't have any plans. They'll get it figured out within a few weeks. I'll keep you posted guys, sorry to bum ya out. [/glow]

Just out of curiosity, what is everyone hoping for? I'm looking to do something big at my store, that day, but I'm a little stuck on what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

honestly Jimmy, my excitement is over the potential for promo merchandise, like giveaway mini posters or stickers...its the bat-collector in me, I guess. I do hope someone is there in a bat-suit, because my son would LOVE it.

I do hope someone is there in a bat-suit, I hope for the same, so long as it isn't some overzealous fanboy dressing up for the occasion ;D. Outside of BlackBat and a few others, not many should been seen in public like that.

LOL, thanks peev! ;D There are soome good suits out there, and there are some bad ones...There are some people out there that can wear the suits easily...and there are some that have a harder time pulling it off. Hopefully you guys will get to see some great looking batmen if your Wally-World decides to have a big Batman blow-out. ~Tim

Well, I asked a manager today about it and he had no clue...He said that on of the stores vendor put it up and he would ask them when they came in either today or tomorrow. So he told me to call back tomorrow afternoon and hopfully he'll know more then. PJ

[shadow=red,left,300]I have an underlying fear that I may not get a "top secret folder", because I'm too old to particpate. ;D Maybe if I shave the beard.... Anyhoo...please tell me I'm not alone on this...[/shadow]

I wonder.... ...luckily I have two little rugrats with me, so scoring some more won't be an issue..though its not pressing, since I've had the damn thing for a month now. I'll get as many as I can get my hands on, so don't sweat it....

[shadow=purple,left,300]I wouldn't be shocked if there was an age restriction. It sounds like this event is aimed primarily at kids.
However, I'm sure the kids' parents will be allowed to participate, or at least follow their kids around the store. [/shadow]

Well I went to one of Wal-Marts today and NO ONE had a clue to what I was talking about, even the manager. Frustrated I went accross town to the other Wal-Mart and the greeter gave me two coins but I couldn't find any displays in that store.
